View 5 RepliesProfessional :: Good Resources For Making Flash Games?
Apr 4, 2010What I'm wondering though is, are there any good resources out there for making games in Flash CS4. I know I'm going to get some "learn the basics first" replies, and yes I know I need to get a solid grounding in those, but I want to be able to start gathering resources, and look ahead to what I'll be able to do with Flash in the future. By resources I mean books, other websites, your own advice about game making, etc...

Apr 9, 2005I was wondering about MC and hey can help to lag a game out. I set up an advanced class system so i don't have to use MC to simulate walls, all i use isthe x,y,width and height. Well anyway since i don't need MC anymore I was wondering if there is a way to attach Graphics instead of MC cause a Graphics file size is relatively small than that of a graphic, I think. If anyone could tell me thats true and show me a way to attach graphics that would be nice. I haven't tried it yet but maybe if I exported the graphic from the library imihgt be able to call its name, but it doesn't have an instance name so im stuck.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Divinding Vector Graphics Into Vector Graphics
Jul 28, 2009I have a large vector drawing (imagine 5000x5000) that i want to break up into separate pieces. I know that I can convert this vector drawing into a bitmap and then use the copyPixels method to create many separate bitmaps of the different regions of the original vector drawing, but is there any way to subdivide it into movieclips that just contain vector graphics instead of a bitmap?The reason im dividing a big chunk of vector graphics into smaller pieces is for performance reasons, so flash would only render a small part of this big chunk at a time (only certain regions/voxels/subdivisions are rendered at a time). But bitmaps apparently take up a lot of memory and the system im using would take much less memory if these subdivisions could be preserved in their original vector graphics form.
I imagine I could use masks somehow to achieve this effect (for each subdivision, duplicate the huge image and mask only the region that the subdivision represents), but I dont know the performance costs of masking or if this will create other problems.So is there anyway to split up a movieclip of vector graphics into smaller movieclips of vector graphics the same way copyPixels can with bitmaps?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Making Spacebar Act As Mouse For Making A Sidescroller?
Feb 8, 2011For a project, I'm making an interactive side scroller.You move the character with the arrow keys and press the space bar to interact with things.So far, I followed DexNote's tutorial on YouTube.I thought that I would make the interactable objects as buttons, while the mouse focus would be on the character and when you press the space bar it make a mouse click in that area.The trouble I'm having now is that I don't know how to make the space bar trigger the "interactions."

Apr 7, 2011I have a question concerning CPU usage for games. What do people consider as an average or 'acceptable' amount of cpu usage for a game I've created a few different games, some which are more database driven have a very low cpu usage and small size.. others I've seen go up to 80% cpu usage..
I do try to keep a careful eye on this (I mean 80% of one core, of which I have 8.. I'm not sure how this will reflect on a single core/processor machine) but it does really concern me because as soon as I add an 'enterframe' function, spin something around or create a fair size animation it piles on the intensity to the cpu.. are there any professional tips anybody could offer me please ? I really want to make the web a better place for others by not overloading their computers
ActionScript 3.0 :: Games Use Arrays Sometime Or Even XML?
Sep 7, 2011I am making this racing game, But I never understood how racing game's level.. I know other games use arrays sometime, or even XML. But i do not know how this works in terms of racing..
As you can see The level visual setup is on frame 2, which also has a label play. All that would cahnge per level is the game sprite. That holds everything that sets up the game, like the track, the car starting position, the bushes the waypoints the finish line. Everything really.

UI Design In Flash Games?
Mar 21, 2010Background: I've been coding in VIM/C++/OpenGL for a long time.I've come to realize that this (VIM/C++/OpenGL) isn't the way to learn about programming fancy/cool-looking/futuristic UIs; and that the design of such UIs belongs more so in the artistic/designer world of Flash.
Anyway, I currently have a machine with MacOSX. What software should I install? What book should I read to learn about the artistic/design side of these futuristic UIs? [It's okay if the tools to design them are mouse clicking + graphical rather than coding based].
Question: what software packages + books to read to learn about creating fancy-looking / futuristic UIs in flash?

View 2 RepliesActionscript 3 :: Using Too Much RAM In Flash Games?
Jan 22, 2012On my venture for quick rendering within Flash, I've worked out that the only solution is to create sprite sheets on the fly. Sprite sheets are created from a MovieClip using BitmapData.draw().
I have a graphics manager class which has a method that accepts a MovieClip and an int. The MovieClip is the target to capture graphics from, and the int represents how many different angles the image can be rendered at within 360 degrees.
[Code]...
Any advice around this would be extremely helpful. Note: I have made sure to utilize BitmapData.dispose() within my own dispose() method defined by SpriteSheet to clear up RAM, I am more concerned about how much RAM I can use at one given time (all game assets that will render ready to be used).

View 4 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Timer For Games For Each Frame
Apr 11, 2010I have put this code on the frames where each timer you have 30 sec to drag something and put it into a specific place. If you don't then I bring the user back to the starting frame. The issue that I noticed is that even if I cleared it and put a stop(); code it brings me back to the beginning of the game even if I did it ask it to do it! .
On each frame I put this
Code:
stop();
tm = 30;
displayTime.text = tm;
countDown = function () {
tm--;
displayTime.text = tm;
[Code] .....
Aand it works even on frames that don't have this code on it, why ? I put this clearInterval(countDown); all the time. but didn't work.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Can't Create Flash Games
Aug 2, 2009I am new to actionscript. I am following a tutorial on lynda. I am trying to learn how to create flash games. I am using flash cs4. The tutorial uses flash cs3 and and actionscript 3.0. I added a movie clip to my library and enabled export for actionscript. I got a dialog box that says "a definition for this class could not be found in the classpath, so one will automatically be generated in the swf file upon export." I click ok. Then when I try to test it, I get an error that says "call to possibly undefined method". What exactly am I doing wrong?

View 5 RepliesActionscript :: Resources For Pure Games?
Oct 14, 2009What resources (books or website/tutorials) are available, that cover game development using pure Actionscript 3 code? By pure, I mean not using Flash CS4 and its timeline, and not using Flex MXML components. Everything done using only Actionscript code.
In another question, I asked about using certain objects of the Flex SDK for simple games, and the consensus was that I shouldn't use it at all, but only Actionscript for a game. Sounds reasonable, but the books/website tutorials that I have found on the subject of games, all use AS3 in the context of Flash CS4. They assume your objects will be movieclips, with timelines, etc.
I realize that you can learn game programming from books in other languages, and/or ignore the Flash aspect of AS3 books. I guess what I'm looking for, is whatever information is specific to AS3, such as best practices for AS3-only games, how to make architectural/design decisions, etc. If it exists, anyway :)
Flash - Creating Background In Games?
Sep 10, 2010What are the best (considered by professionals) approaches while creating a platformer based game for Creating game levels & background (static ones).Create a single background and scale it?or Display it on-the-fly by loading objects (probably repeating them often).
If the first one is the choice then it would become essential to create each level manually of the game & putting level editors difficult.
Also if the later is the choice I find it too processor intensive....my frame rate almost breaks into half, while trying to manage so many objects together on screen.

Aug 12, 2011I am making a game similar to Touhou in style to learn AS3, but this game is timed to music. Bullet patterns, enemy spawning and special graphics will all be timed to happen at specific times in the music. What I am wondering is:What is the best way to accurately time many(!) events that are required to be very accurate and not slip even a tiny bit out of sync? Example of what sort of timing I am looking:
Spawn 5 different types of enemy's at 1:30 minutes, enemy 1 bullet pattern start at 1:31, bullet pattern will be timed to beat so repeat pattern every 2 seconds. This is a simple and short example of what I am trying to get at.
